And the NIV is now replacing the KJV which according to the logic above is the "proof" that the NIV is better than KJV.

Have MV's caused more confusion than good?

Your presumption is unfounded, for the question you asked gave full suggestion to a violent circumstance for those who "broke" the rule of congregational law.
You seem to be a judge of one's knowledge, or at least love to attack ones character to suggest that some one doesn't know what you do. That is annoying that people should act as if they know everything to those of us who do.:p :D :p :eek: -

Even our English word "human" comes from the Egyptian god "Hu" and then combined with another god "Min". It's no "accident" that the word is pronounced the way it is.
It's another thread to introduce, but are we "humans" or as the word of God tells us, "men"? -
The practice was called "flogging". It usually was first a smart little smack on the hand and for the second offence the shoes were removed and the arches of the feet "spanked".
Now, especially in the more liberal churches, they don't want to "offend" anyone so they let them sleep and never say anything harsh about it.:tonofbricks: -

Salamander: //The NIV is slipping off further into apostacy
with its humanistic psychological nuances when
compared to the Bible.//
I respectfully disagree. More pop-psychology comes
from the KJVs than from the NIV.
Salamander: //Clear and accurate for what purpose???
It has been proven countless times the reading
of the NIV suggests humanism.//
I respectfully disagree. The NIV does NOT suggest
humanism. I used the NIV for ten years or so
as my primary Bible for public and private devotions
and Bible teaching. I didn't have change any
of my doctrines either Baptist or Christian.

1. Tee hee. A word ('human') comes from two
Egyptian god's names and is bad; another word
'man' comes from one Egyptian god's name
and is good? That is illogical???
2. My dictionary suggests that 'human' comes
from a Latin word meaning 'man' (not from
Egypt).
3. I find it necessary to use the word 'human'
(sometimes 'mankind') to avoid sexist usage of 'man'
I find common among the narrow minded :(
Anyway, I've heard of 'human race' never 'man race'
among people who aren't otherwise racist.
Salamander: //The NIV, by those who esteem it worthy,
is replacing the word of God.//
Again, I respectfully disagree.
The NIV, by those who esteem it worthy,
is the word of God.

Almost sounds blasphemous. -
If we can return to topic I will let it run a little longer, otherwise it will be closed. -

All I have to say :)
All I have to say
is that it is a good thing that the KJV isn't copyrighted...
Because in a generation or two all of these, yes confusing translations will be
even greater in number and the ones people prise today will be long forgotten...
Even the NIV will not make it two more generations (it was after all only a NON T.R. "dynamic equivilen" revolt from the litteral KJV anyways - which it largely was successful at unfortunately) ... But, with all of the money driving these translation printings you can bet they will continue to feed the next curiosity.
If the KJV was copyrighted it would be in the hands of the wrong, confusing, transitory, NON T.R. people.... point being if you "ain't" translating from the correct text or your "ain't" translating literally... then you "ain't" providing a reliaible translation.... The KJV would be "out of print" faster than you could shake a stick...
I know many won't believe me, but the attack of the KJV has been on for years, but since it is not copyrighted the common man will have it so long as men speak English or Christ comes.
For that I am thankful...
God's providence has already proven the KJV to be an annointed translation work worthy of praise.... perfect? no... But, tried, tested, literal, translated from the Preserved T.R. absolutely.....
God save the KJV from the modern attacks, and the diluting of modern translations.. -
P.s.
By the way, Baptist 4 Life,
Your in GREAT COMPANY....
Wycliffe and the K.J.V. Translaters (in their very preface) were also vehemently
against a proliferation of casual translations and multiplicity of readings for the
very reasons that you are humbly presenting against all these "intellectuals"
Well, you may not have the best arguments or the best writing skill;
you may not have the highest degree or position in a church, but you
my dear soul, are right!
God bless, and be encouraged.... I am outta hear...
In sincerity and truth,

Apreacher4Him: //All I have to say

Tee hee ;)
The KJV is copyrighted.
The Crown (Royal Family) has the copyright
(what do you think 'AUTHORIZED VERSION' means)/
However, it is unAmerican and unBaptist to
pay money to the Queen of England
or honor any King/Queen but Jesus.
So we act like the KJV isn't copyrighted, but
it is copyrighted. -
P.s.s.
LOL okay Ed... But thankfully the copyright is not like the others :)
The English Crown not withstanding lol (The KJV will be around alot longer than the modern dilutions that way). Thankfully..
But again,
